St Michael's Church, Alnwick, Medieval church in Alnwick, England
The church building features a hexagonal turret, stone effigies, medieval grave slabs, and multiple architectural elements from different construction periods.
Originally established in the 12th century, the current structure dates from 1401 and underwent significant reconstruction after damage from Scottish raids.
The capitals within St Catherine's Chapel display intricate carvings of the Percy and Vesci families' coats of arms, representing local nobility.
Located on Bailiffgate street, the church maintains regular Anglican services and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its architectural features.
The southeast corner houses a defensive lookout tower that served both as protection against Scottish raiders and later as surveillance against Napoleonic threats.
